Re: Watch out for Gator
Hi Barbara. I especially like the cropped one as the expression and the details can be seen better. What an expression

I have been around Grizzlies, Black bears, Killer whales, Grey whales, Pit Vipers, and Rebels/Freedom fighters but this guy scares me.

Re: Watch out for Gator
The second one is nice and sharp. It makes you wonder just what it's thinking about you and your camera. Good job, Barbara!

Re: Watch out for Gator
He was pretty scary! The gander who usually chases me was even trying to herd me away from him. It was if he was saying "hey he is not a nice one". Originally Posted by JBW

Yes they are Graham. He was only about 4 ft head to tail, would hate to see his older brother Originally Posted by GBO25

Grahame, Thanks! He was the only one pleased! He definitely watched me but did not seem in the least bit timid. Originally Posted by Stagecoach

Nice shot Barbara, taken at 300mm I see so you didn't get too close

Re: Watch out for Gator
Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh hubba...hubba...babba...cumma, cumma a lil bit clossa...I like the 2nd one too Barbara...very sharp. I am particularly taken by the slit in his eyes...and immediately reminded of Rolf Harris song Never Smile at a Crocodile. No I am not talking about Rolf Harris, just his song about the crocodile...
Never smile at a crocodile
No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile
Don't be taken in by his welcome grin
He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skinLast edited by IzzieK; 5th March 2015 at 06:48 PM. Reason: It's gator..not a crocodile!!!

Re: Watch out for Gator
#2 is really nice... I love the smile and keep thinking about Captain Hook in the kids story, "Peter Pan".
BTW: I am a great fan of the Structure Slider of NIK Viveza 2. Structure is an ever so subtle way of increasing contrast and sharpening the image. In this try, I increased the structure to 35%.
